Join-as-you-go (Style)

A finishing philosophy in which every motif is attached as it is completed, so the project is never a pile of loose pieces.

Definition

As a style choice, join-as-you-go means designing so the join is decorative and intentional rather than hidden.

Overview

Contrasting join rounds, picot joins and lacy connecting bars all turn the seam into part of the pattern.

It also changes how a project feels to make: progress is visible from the first motif and finishing takes minutes rather than an evening.

Characteristics

  • Joins made during the final round of each motif
  • Seams can be decorative rather than invisible
  • Almost no finishing work at the end

Typical uses

  • Motif blankets
  • Shawls
  • Garments

Construction method

Join-as-you-go CrochetMotifs are attached to their neighbours during the final round, so the piece grows complete with no sewing at the end.

Construction style

Motif CrochetFabric assembled from decorative shaped units — squares, hexagons, flowers, circles — rather than worked in continuous rows.

Construction style

Granny Square CrochetSquares worked outward from a central ring in clusters separated by chain spaces — the most recognisable structure in crochet.
